Next to Newsletter- Monday, January 9, 2012

Many, many thanks to all of you who showed up for our sales last week. It really started our New Year off with a bang!

Oh my gosh. We've taken in two HUGE batches of awesome fashions in the last few days.

First, if you're shopping for tweens and teens, size XS and Small, stopping by N2N needs to be a priority. There are over 100 pieces of name brands (Ralph Lauren, Hollister, BCBG and the like)- tops, pants and slacks, dresses and more. There are high end shoes (BCBG, Crocs, Carlos Santana, Jessica Simpson) in size 7 and 7.5.

We're putting out both winter and spring fashions- now is a good time to fill in the gaps in your winter closet and get ready for warmer weather, too!

What's on sale?

Let's do the Wild Card Sale this week. You remember how it works: we have cards labeled with different 30% off departments- ladies' tops, infantwear, dresses, menswear...you get the idea. One card even wins you 30% off of your entire purchase.

NEW COLUMNS

My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Times here in Gainesville. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.

Arthur's Computer Care column "Look for more QR Codes in the future" was published on January 7th. Click here to read it.

Evelyn Asher was the first to take up our challenge to list her top four Internet Favorites, sites she bookmarks and consults frequently.

Evelyn, formerly of Hall County, currently lives in Asheville. She's a writer, editor and a fervent supporter of worthy causes. She's one of those people who encourages others to try harder, strive longer and do more than they ever thought possible. Our girls call her Tante (Aunt) Ev.

Here are Tante Ev's Fave Four:

First, there's Dr. Weil.com. Ev says: "I had watched Dr. Weil on PBS years ago, loved his philosophy of not watching the news for better health, but didn’t appreciate fresh foods as much as I do today. Desktop delivery keeps my focus on health."

Next: In 2003, Patti Digh's stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer and died just 37 days later. She woke up on day 38 and asked her a question that she has asked every morning since: "What would I be doing today if I only had 37 days to live?"

Her award-winning blog, 37days.com, emerged from the lessons she learned by asking that question. And her most recent book, LIFE IS A VERB: 37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally, emerged from that writing. The 37 Days blog is one of Ev's Fave Four.

Mayonnaise does more than make everything delicious. From cleaning to killing pests to giving you silky-soft hair, click here to discover all the surprising uses for this condiment.

Get good apps

Resources like CatchFree are indispensable at a time in which the creation and release of applications has become more and more democratized. While such a thing might not be bad from a competitive point of view, it is bad to consumers inasmuch they end up downloading/buying apps that are up to no good. That is what CatchFree is here to prevent. It is a community where people can recommend the best apps that they have tried, and tell the world at large why they are a cut above the rest.

The applications that are more widely-loved are all highlighted on the homepage and they are arranged by popularity. The ones that have received the best ratings all sit on top.

Whatcha Eatin'?

This is most certainly one of the most decadent desserts I've come across in a long time. The name says it all:

Let's work to get the word out: friends don't let friends shop retail!
